How Mr.. Perkins Was Convinced.
Prairie Farmer.

Prairie Farmer.
Mr.. Perkins went over the whole
account, but failed to find an error |
of even one cent. Its all straight
Betsey," he said, as he handed
back the books; but that don't
prove there is any profit in keepin'
hens. Thirty.nine dollars Is
good deal to pay on. in a year Tor
eggs and chickens, but it is as
broad as it is long, for | allow 1t
used to cost me hard on to. forty
dollars year to keep our hens
not countin' the damage they did.
So if we have paid out about forty
dollars for eggs and chickens, We
have saved about forty dollars
worth of feed, and the garden be-
sides, to say nothin' of all the
bother of runnin' after them and
feedin' them. Take it all around,
| allow that we are ahead; anyway
Idor't believe we have lost any
thing by not keepin' hens"
well, ] don't allow any such
thing" said Mrs. Perkins. "Io
he sure | don't know just how
much it used to cost us to keep
our hens, but l do know that this
very morning Mrs. Peters told me
that it cost her just S47.6O to keep
her hens and raise her chickens
last year; and she showed me her
book where she had down every
thing. even to the salt and pepper,
and the lime for whitewash. Here
are her figures, just US l copied
them from her book, on purpose to
show you," and Mrs. Perkins pro-
duced big sheet of paper which
she handed to her husband. "lou
see" she continued "she keeps
thirty hens and two roosters--Just
the same plumber we had---and
she raised LEO chickens. She keeps
her old hens shut up in a yard
most of the time, too, and it stands
to reason that it cost her more to
keep her hens that way than 1t cost
MS to keep ours when they run al
over the farm and picked up hall
their living. And of course, beln
shut up SO, her hens couldn't dam
age the garden or anything else
and if you'll look ON the other side
of that paper, you'll see that hel
hens laid good many eggs be
sides those which we bought O
her.
The minister family, and thu
doctors folks have all the egg
they use of Mrs. Peters. You SCI
she sold those two families S.:
worth of eggs last year. Put tina
with what we've paid her, and adj
in the chickens and eggs they us'
themselves and itshows pretty wei
for the hens, l think. She mad
almost $40 dollars clear gain o.
her hens last year. She has
brand new carpet for their spar
chamber, new curtains for the pal
lor, and a big easy chair,-a
bought with the money she mad
on her hens. Now she is havil
another yard made and an additio
put on to the poultry house, so sl
can keep GO or 10 hens. She say
she means to raise more chicken
another year, and make eneug
altogether to buy Grace an organ
Grace has quite a turn fc
music, though to tell the truth
don't think she has any MOI
natural taste for it than our Doll.

Mrs. Perkins stopped short, fo
Mr.. Perkins, having carefully e,
amined both sides of the pape
laid it down, got up and went
without word.
"Just like man." said Mr.
Perkins to herself, as size locke
after her husband.

SAD ACCIDENT.
Mr.. N. w. Breed Drowned off Fort
Corges-

Yesterday morning Mr.. H. W. Breed of
Cambridge, Mass, who was a travelling
salesman for F. A. Kennedy a. Co., the cele-
brated cracker manufacturers of Cambridge
port, arrived in this city by the Boston boat,
accompanied by Mr.. r. L. Morse of Boston,
friend. Mr.. Breed was on his way to
Peaks Island where his family has a sum-
mer cottage, and as he only had the day to
spend with them, he was very DESTROYS of
reaching the island as speedily as possible,
and breakfasting with them. On this ac-
count he was unwilling to wait for the island
steamer and hired cat-rigged boat from
Conway, who has pleasure boats to let He
secured the services of man named Andrew
johnson, Dane, to navigate the boat,
johnson, according to the surviving friend,
claiming sufficient knowledge to sail the
boat
As the boat was putting out from the
wharf. one of the steamboat captains, Capt.
johnson, advised the party to wait for the
steamer, as the wind was blowing very fresh
from the north; suggestiods however were
not needed. The sail boat went along safely
until it had passed the breakwater, and was
between Bug light and Fort Gorges, when it
careened, filled and Immediately sank. The
captain of schooner lying at short dis
lance away, Immediately lowered a boat,
manned it with a crew of five men, and sent
it to the rescue. When the boat was reach
ed Morse and johnson were seen and
rescued, and. moment or two afterwards,
a hat and clothes were seen on the surface
of the water. When reached it was found
that these articles belonged to the body of
Mr. Breed and the inanimate man was taken
into the boat. Life however was extinct
Mr.. Breeds body was taken to Mr. Rich's
undertaken rooms, and Coroner Gould was
notified. After learning the facts in the
case he considered an inquest necessary.
Johnson was arrested as witness and
placed in Jail. The inquest will be held to-
day. Mr.. Breed was fine looking man be-
tween thirty-ive and forty years of age.
The boat that met with the accident is
reported to be the same one in which the
Marston family lost their lives at Diamond
Cove last summer.

FOND OF CANDY.
A Swarm of Bees invade a Candy
Shop.

Saturday swarm of bees took possession
of Ravens candy store on Congress street.
Their appearance was very sudden. They
made no attempt to trouble any one, but de-
voted themselves to the stock in the store,
which was rapidly diminishing under their
efforts. Mr.. Haven said that they come
every year. He thought the present LOT
would be dead by today, but more will take
take their places by that time. They crowd
ed the store in the evening, and the electric
light globe was well filled with them, while
vast numbers of dead bees were piled in the
windows.
Mr.. Lord, who keeps candy store above
Mr.. Ravens stand, says that last year it was
impossible to work in his shop because Of
the bees. Ali hands devoted themselves to
the work of killing the visitors. IF they
come" said Mr.. Lord. "shut the doors and
windows up; don't let one escape, for If a
single specimen gets away it will bring the
hive down on You. They made their appear.
ance here two days ago, but we managed to
kill them off, and no more have followed

An Open Letter to the Board Of
Health of Portland.

To the Board Of Health Of the City of
Portland:
Gentlemen Much inconvenience and
very serious annoyance has been occa-
stoned this summer by the entire failure on
the part of our collector of offal to do his
work in proper manner.
Upon demonstrating with the driver of the
offal cart for his unfrequent calls, he replied
that he did the best he could, but as he had
only one team he could not get around any
Oftener.
From the fact that the offal at my house
remained unsolicited for week or more at
time, the drivers statement must be cor
rect.
Such entire lack of proper attention to this
matter is crim;nally careless, and at this
season Of the year must be the cause of much
illness.
Whoever is responsible should provide and
enforce some better method of collection.
